Once theFormat Cellsdialog box appears:
* SelectAccountingfrom theCategorylist on the left.

* Accounting Format:Aligns the$ symbol to the far leftof the cell and thedecimal points verticallyin a column, making it easier to read large lists of numbers.
* Currency Format:Places the$ symbol immediately to the leftof the number, which does not allow for uniform vertical alignment of the symbols.
